UUR TRIBUTE During today's emergencies we may peer too far into the future, disregarding our great debt to the past. Undoubtedly, the world has felt the vital influence of the members of Free- port's graduating classes throughout the years. They have given us many conveniences that we now take for granted and mention little even though we appreciate them. There is the advancement made from the horse and buggy days to trains and automobiles and from poorly equipped schools to numer- ous and efficient ones designed for study and experimentation. One contribution of immediate interest given to us by the past is our Polaris, first published by the graduating class of 1905. Many men and women on their way to fame and fortune have passed through these very doors of F.H.S. For many of us it has provided our last four years of formal education. Some of our more fortunate students will go to college. -Some of us will die unknown, unhonored, and unsungg others will become leaders of the future. Much of what we become will be due directly or indirectly to the influence of our teachers, fellow-classmates, and to our admirable school system. How- ever, we realize that many mistakes have been made that we, the future generation, will have to correct and overcome, just as we will make mistakes that posterity will have to repair. With the future in view, the Polaris wishes to bow to the past and express its deep appreciation for the advantages to which we have fallen heir. This is our tribute to the past. THE EDS.
